When most people think about weapons in martial arts they think about staff's and swords. Or maybe they don't think about those things at all, they only think about being threatened with a weapon of some kind, like a club, or a knife or even a gun. Being comfortable around weapons of all types is important for Total Ryu students. Learning how to use traditional weapons is just as important as learning modern ones. Conversely learning how to defend against traditional weapons is just as important as defending against modern ones. Traditional weapons techniques is the forerunner to modern weapons defense and disarming systems. Learning how they figured things out in the old days helps us to understand how to approach problems and issues that today's world presents to us.

So you will not only learn how to use the Katana and the Bo staff, but how to use a knife and disarm a firearm. Your path will be a personal one, directed only by you and your comfort level and interest in specifics. Traditional weapons taught are the Bo Staff, Sai, Katana, stick. Modern weapons taught are knife, stick, and hand gun disarming.

Some individuals really like the new world of MMA. Frankly I love many aspects of the sport. However, it is just a sport with rules of engagement that are not and will not be present in self defense situations and violent encounters. Our approach is using the best of traditional Martial Arts that evolved the MMA sport in a focused approach on ground defense and we have no rules. The street MMA Program utilizes all of the throwing and striking techniques of our traditional Jujitsu program but has an added emphasis of ground fighting. In fact you may say that ground defense is the focus of this class and it is the same way that throwing is the focus of the traditional jujitsu class. However, there are many other aspects included, striking, kicking, movement, choking, joint locking sweeping and throwing.

Learn how to survive, take the next step.
